Use the exam content guide to direct and check your learning. I also recommend the EC practice exams. Good luck!

Start with the content guide provided by Excelsior and use it as a guide when reading through the textbook. As you progress through the chapters look at the content guide and ask yourself if you understand what they are truly asking. Some people attending Excelsior have used third party materials in the form of study guides. I purchased one and was not impressed. You might squeeze by a pass using these guides but you'd be hard pressed to try and get an A using only that.

This Advice can carry over into any Excelsior exam. Good luck and push on.

I used study guide 101 and the practice exams Did all the quizzes and then go over and over the rationales. I got a B but I probably could have got an A if I hadn't second guessed some answers

Same as above, utilize your study guide and EC practice exams. Rationales are on point for studying.

Most of all, relax and try not to pych yourself out too much.

That is my big problem, I second guess myself and usually my first choice is correct. Thank you.
